Hello All -

New X5, 1200 miles on it. Looking at Racechip. Any experience with this years model, and which box. I’m looking simple, mostly stay in comfort mode personal settings, have had a RC in F15 35d and felt on stock setting it gave the x5 extra boost when I wanted it (most notably when the 35d had tough time accelerating from 45-80 mph).

I’m a set it and forget it guy, if that matters. And my local BMW shop will install/doing the mods for me.

Oh, and octane - I’m not putting race grade in but typically 89-91 in the Philly area.

Any comments?

Is the search button broken?

Genius! Why didn’t I think of that!

Any info? I’m in the same boat with a 2025 x50e but want some upgrades.

RC said higher octane will provide better results. I'm going RC GTS 5 with the app - it has some insurance if there are problems, but guessing they are hard to collect on. I am also lowering the X5 with H&R springs.

There is a video,

, you should watch. I'd say buy it and have fun!!

I need more sound, bro. I need some deep engine sounds. What do I do? Void the warranty and get an exhaust? I need something better than the current setup. It’s almost 500 horsepower it needs to sound beefier.

I used a Bluespark tune piggy back setup. I would say without doing a dyno that 50-75 hp is very doable with the RC. I did all the research and found some negative reviews on the RC and some of the others but no real negatives on Bluespark. I’ve now done many 0-60s and the Dragy 1 ft roll out times are consistent sub 4.0 where stock has me at 4.25. That lines up with the dozens of YT vids I’ve seen on our 50e stock vs tune

All the passes were within .10 so consistent

Thanks - had not seen this product. Looks like significant gains... Coming from a diesel I miss the torque but added HP is a bonus. Also lowering to help with some roll I feel. Did you do other mods?
